fpsHG is out of beta

​

Within the first three days of the server's launch, we have seen fpsHG's capacity as a permanent server in the McBrawl arsenal and we are extremely pleased with this turnout.

So without further ado, let us go over the changes to fpsHG.

Scoreboard and Boss Bar Changes:
​

Before, the boss bar was notoriously broken. It flickered, it went off the screen... It sucked. I finally went about fixing it and realized its potential was not to its fullest. Here's what I changed:

• In game, the boss bar cycles between the following three messages:
  • Players remaining
  • Time Until DM
  • Time Until Feast
• The scoreboard in the lobby alternates between the following messages:
  • Your current kit
  • The next map

With these messages added to the boss bar, we were able to remove players, time until DM, and time until feast from the scoreboard. From this free space, the scoreboard looks much cleaner and is 100x more readable. Now it clearly states the time, your credits, your kills, and your teammates' hp.

Saving Changes:

​

There were some unforeseen difficulties in how the game loaded and saved player data for game usage, and I've tried reducing that factor:

• Credits now save and load indefinitely after dying.
• Permissions reload more fluently, making the "kit disappear bug" increasingly unlikely.

Buycraft and Ranks:

​

Some of you have been oh-so-eager to donate for kits and for ranks, and today we have the capability of bringing your fantasies to life! But I still have to rough out the edges, so it's not yet enabled. Sorry!

Voting:

(I'm a photoshop God)​

To lend a hand to those who are experiencing difficulties racking up credits, I've added a vote system. If you vote for the server then you get to unlock a kit of your choice, no matter how many credits it's worth!

If you want a free kit, go to vote.mcbrawl.com and vote! Log in to fpsHG and your free kit awaits you.

Maps:​

• Lobby:
  • 
  • With all you guys giving so much positive feedback, @AndyinaBEARsuit, @chickenputty, and @Scoat2 figured we need a nice new lobby to return the favors. Enjoy the parkour and make sure to thank the builders for their hard work.
• Game:
  • I couldn't let you guys settle for the stale, old map you've been playing for the past 78 hours. I needed to put more into the mix, so we added 6 more maps.

​

Balance:
​

• Gun Changes:
  • RPK has been nerfed. Bullet Delay Time increased to 8 from 2.
  • Barrett .50cal has been nerfed. Gun Damage decreased to 25 from 30.
  • Tomahawk has been changed. Damage increased to 15 from 10. Missile Speed reduced to 3.5 from 4.
• Invisibility Changes:
  • 
  • As some of you may have noticed, with the addition of new classes came the Ninja kit for donators only. After thorough testing by both me and @Chaploo, we have decided there were some definite strong points that needed to be addressed. In order to counter the invisibility of the Ninja class, we made a few changes:
  • • If a player shoots a gun or is hit while invisible, they will lose their invisibility for 5 seconds. This delay refreshes every time the player is hit or shoots a gun.
    • If a player comes within a 4-block radius of another player while invisible, they will lose their invisibility for 5 seconds. This delay refreshes every time the player moves.
    • * Note: This only happens when the invisible player moves towards an enemy, not when an enemy moves towards the invisible player.
    • The compass will not show the position of anyone that is currently invisible.
